KYBELLA is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for adults that destroys fat cells. It can help define and contour the chin. Many men and women have submental fullness, oftentimes referred to as a double chin. It is caused by weight gain, genetics or aging and can be difficult to get rid of. Exercise and diet are not always effective, and surgery may not be an option. With KYBELLA, you can achieve a sleeker chin profile.
KYBELLA is a prescription injectable medication that can help reduce moderate to severe fat beneath the chin using the naturally occurring deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is used to help break down and absorb dietary fat, and KYBELLA uses it as part of a medical treatment to destroy fat cells and prevent other cells in the area from storing more fat. This long-lasting treatment process changes the way your cells treat fat, so you will not need to come in months or a year later to redo the treatment.
Our expert injectors will begin your treatment by carefully examining the area under and around your chin before discussing your esthetic goals with you and designing your personalized treatment plan. Once your treatment plan has been designed, you are ready to begin your KYBELLA treatment. We will ask you to come in for monthly treatment sessions, each lasting about 15 to 20 minutes, until the treatment is complete. For most patients, only two to four sessions are needed. While some patients may need more sessions, you should not receive more than six total treatments. Once you complete your treatment sessions, visible results are expected for about four to eight weeks.
After your treatment, there may be some numbness, bruising or swelling under your chin, but these effects will dissipate within a few days.
